“…51 ) The problems faced by the compiler and editor of Hooke's voluminous remains, discussed in more detail below, are addressed by making them, and the life, intelligible as the institutional product of an institutional creature, a man who had been used 'from his Youth … to a Collegiate, or rather Monastick Life'. 52 In using the Registers of the Royal Society as source material in this way Waller is not simply following the principles Hooke had laid out for himself, since he does not only cite them for authorityhe specifically envisages his work as complementing their function, omitting to give details of a number of Hooke's inventions and experiments on the grounds that from the time of his election as curator 'the Societies Journals gave sufficient Testimony of his Performances, all which would be too many to particularize here'. 'Therefore', he concluded, 'I shall only touch upon some of the chief'.…”

Abstract:Richard Waller's 'Life of Dr Robert Hooke', prefixed to his edition of Hooke's Posthumous Works (1705), is an important source for the life of one of the most eminent members of the early Royal Society. It also has the distinction of being one of the earliest biographies of a man of science to be published in English. I argue that it is in fact the first biography to embrace the subject's naturalphilosophical work as the centre of his life, and investigate Waller's reasons for adopting this strategy and his struggle with the problem of how to represent an early experimental philosopher in print.

This paper will identify Al-Qa'ida and Salafi-Jihadists as our enemy and will recommend new approaches to fighting terrorism. I will explore AlQa'ida's organization, leaders, doctrine and their radical ideologies. I will argue that the war we must fight is one against Islamist transnational actors who openly engage in terrorism or support terrorism. I will highlight that our current National and Military REPORT DATE MAR 20082Strategies to combat terrorism are inadequate to take on an ideologically emboldened transnational foe. I will emphasize that we must refocus our efforts and prepare to fight a war of several generations (long war) and will recommend several initiatives to include development of a cogent Grand National Strategy. These recommendations are intended to assist future planners in the development of a Grand National Strategy and an integrated long war campaign plan aimed directly at Al-Qa'ida, the Al-Qa'ida Associated Movement, and Islamist terrorists and executed through the application of diplomatic, informational, military and economic instruments of national power by an unified interagency effort in coordination with our multinational partners, international governmental and non-governmental organizations and regional security organizations.The Serpent in Our Garden: Al-Qa'ida and The Long WarTerrorism has existed for centuries and governments have struggled to counter the violent extremist threat within their midst. In the immediate days following the unprovoked attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, President Bush and our collective national leaders stressed the urgent need to go on the immediate offensive against the terrorists, deploy military forces, and promote democracy abroad. Now, going on seven years in the Global War on Terror (GWOT), one can argue we have made credible tactical gains, but have fallen far short in defeating violent extremism as a threat to our way of...
